ECP5 Versa development kit and Lattice Diamond software promotional
offer now available for $99 for a limited time

ECP5 family offers low power consumption, small form factor and low
cost FPGAs for flexible connectivity to ASICs and ASSPs

ECP5 devices are targeted for small cells, microservers, broadband
access, and industrial video

PORTLAND, Ore. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 1, 2015 —
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:
LSCC), the leading provider of
customizable smart connectivity solutions, today announced the
availability of the
ECP5™
Versa development kit to accelerate prototyping and testing of
connectivity designs targeted for small cells, microserver, broadband
access, and industrial video applications worldwide. The family’s low
power consumption, small form factor and low cost make it an ideal
connectivity solution and enables design engineers to rapidly add
features and functions that complement those delivered by ASICs and
ASSPs, reducing development risk and accelerating time-to-market.

To help customers interested in the ECP5 device family to quickly design
and test application prototypes, Lattice has released an ECP5 Versa
development kit. The kit lets customers evaluate the connectivity
performance of the ECP5 FPGA with a range of standards, including PCI
Express, Gigabit Ethernet, DDR3 and generic SERDES. Lattice also offers
several proof-of-concept demos with the ECP5 Versa development kit that
can help customers accelerate prototyping and testing of their designs.

Additionally, the ECP5 Versa development kit includes the Lattice
Diamond Design Software that offers a complete suite of FPGA design
tools with an easy-to-use interface, efficient design flow, superior
design exploration and more. The Lattice Diamond software suite tailored
specifically for the ECP5 Versa kit will be available free of charge to
all users purchasing the board.

The new ECP5 Versa development kit is available direct from Lattice at a
limited promotional price of $99 (US). To order the kit or learn more
about the kit and its demo and design software, please visit the

Versa development kit web page.

“When we developed the ECP5 family, we broke all the rules of
conventional FPGA approaches in order to deliver the optimum
connectivity solution tailored to meet the demands of compact, low
power, high volume communications and industrial applications,” said
Deepak Boppana, director, product marketing at Lattice Semiconductor.
“ECP5 devices have proven to be an ideal companion chip for ASICs and
ASSPs and we believe that the new ECP5 Versa development board will only
help to further increase broad adoption across our served markets.”

Lattice optimized the ECP5 family’s architecture with the goal of
delivering the best value below 100K LUTs, while adding key new features
such as support for soft error correction, and small form factor
packages across all densities. Achieving 40% lower cost than competing
solutions, optimizations include small LUT4 based logic slices with
enhanced routing architecture, dual-channel SERDES to save silicon real
estate, and enhanced DSP blocks for up to 4x resource improvements.
